Going off of what you say is happening it seems like the Throttle position sensor may need to be replaced. Download a copy of the Factory Service Manual to find out how to check the throttle position sensor with a voltmeter.
Second: A bad ground connection can cause the 75a fuse to blow and or a bad alternator all together. A blown alternator fuse won't cause the engine to run poorly. it will however keep the alternator from recharging the battery and a great deal of electronics from working.

I did look online for instructions on how to delete the EGR but I can't remember which ones I tried to follow exactly. I figured out which components had to deal with the EGR and then removed them, capping off visible vacuum lines. When I tried removing the EGR tube from the exhaust manifold, it was so rusted and tight on there that the tube broke off, so part of it is still in there causing an exhaust leak. I ordered a new set of headers to remedy this. The O2 sensor also has not been changed yet.
If it turns out to be the TPS, should I just get a whole new throttle body all together?
Like I said about the alternator fuse, I've checked and re-checked to make sure every wire is grounded and everything is hooked up properly. Did S13's and S14's come with different alternators? A quick google search comes up with ones that are 90-110A. Is the stock alternator 75A meaning that the fuse would be 75A? I'm not the worlds best electrician. I just used the one already connected to my S13 block, could I possibly need a bigger fuse?
